Shorten and expand URLs with TinyW.in and upload images and screenshots to Phota.meDescription
TWurl is an extension to facilitate the use of TinyW.in and several other URL shortening services. A short URL can be generated for any web page, using the user’s preferred shortening service. The short URL is automatically copied to the clipboard to paste into other applications.
TWurl also automatically expands short URLs on any page, replacing the target URL with the original URL and displays the page title as a tooltip. The URL expansion is provided by LongURL.org, which handles links from more than 200 services.
Features

Supports login credentials (for services like bit.ly and Cligs).
Scans web pages for short URLs and automatically updates the target URL. The title of the website is displayed as a tooltip when available.
Supports dynamically updated (AJAX) websites (eg. twitter.com) without having to refresh the page.
Supports right clicking on a link to shorten it.
Allow you to upload images from websites and Chrome screenshot to Phota.me
Optionally displays QR codes and allows url customization when shortening URLs with TinyW.in
TWurl also supports all the popular services such as bit.ly, goo.gl, is.gd, TinyURL, and more to be added upon request. The full list of supported services can be found here:

Change Log:
Version 2.2.0
Added notifications during Phota uploads. Now you know that the upload is running in the background.
Version 2.1.0
Moved the Fetch and Upload to Phota function back to a single function. TWurl now tries to have Phota fetch the file and if it fails uploads from the browser.

v2.0.0
Significant rewrite/cleanup of the extension code to comply with Google's new extension manifest version 2 api and rules.
Squashed a bug that allowed only the first link shortened on a page via the right click context menu to work correctly.
Renamed the existing "Upload to Phota" to "Fetch Image w/ Phota" and added new code to "Upload to Phota" which pulls the image from the browser cache and uploads it.
